What Is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a therapeutic, targeted massage designed for active people. It focuses on reducing muscle tension, improving mobility and supporting recovery between training sessions.

You don’t need to be an elite athlete. Sports massage is ideal for runners, gym-goers, cyclists, surfers and anyone who wants their body to move well.

Unlike relaxation massage, a sports massage uses deeper pressure and specialised techniques such as trigger point therapy, deep tissue work and myofascial release to ease tight muscles, reduce pain and help improve joint mobility.

Benefits of Sports Massage

  • 1. Faster Recovery

    Research shows sports massage reduces DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and lowers biochemical markers of muscle damage such as creatine kinase. This helps your body recover more efficiently after training (Guo et al., 2017).


  • 2. Improved Flexibility & Range of Motion

    High-quality evidence demonstrates small but consistent improvements in flexibility and range of motion following massage, helping you move more freely and maintain better technique during training (Davis et al., 2020).

  • 3. Injury Prevention Support

    Sports massage helps reduce muscle tightness and improve tissue mobility, which supports injury prevention when combined with correct strength work, load management and physiotherapy (Guo et al., 2021; Davis et al., 2020).

  • 4. Relief From Muscle Pain & Niggles

    Massage can reduce muscle pain, improve comfort and increase pain thresholds in the short term. This makes sports massage ideal for easing tightness between sessions (Law et al., 2008).

  • 5. Mental Reset & Stress Reduction

    Massage therapy also benefits the nervous system, reducing stress, improving mood and helping athletes feel more mentally recovered and focused (Dakic et al., 2023).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Not at all! While its designed to treat exercise-related issues, it's also beneficial for those who may have muscular tension from other causes, like a sedentary lifestyle or stress. Remedial massage, with its focus on specific trigger points, can also be of significant benefit.

  • The frequency of sports massage varies based on your activity level, goals, and overall health. It could range from once a week for active individuals to once a month for maintenance.

  • Comfortable clothing is key! You might be asked to undress to your comfort level during the session, and our therapists will always ensure you're appropriately draped.

  • Yes, indeed! It can help manage chronic pain by improving blood flow, reducing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation.

  • While you might experience discomfort during your session, it should never be unbearably painful. Always communicate with your therapist about your comfort level.
